Improvement in churns



waited Statut @anni @twine IMPROVEMENT 1N cla-Unna The Schedule referred to in -ritiene Letters Patent and making part of tho same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, S. S. ALLEN, of Belvidere, Allegany county, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Churning-Apparatus; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear., and exact description thereof', which will enable others skilled in the art to make-and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of -this specification.

Figure l is a vertical section of my improved churn,` taken through the line a: x, fig. 2.

Figure 2 is a horizontal'section of the same, taken through the line y y, iig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved appaiatus for operating a churn, which shall be so constructed and arranged as to do its work quickly and thoroughly, bringing the butter in a very short time; and

It consists in the construction and combination of the various parts of' the apparatus, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the churn, about the construction of which there is nothing new.

` B is the platform, upon which the churn A stands.

C and D are two vertical boards, bars, or frames, attached to the front and rear ends of the platform B, the upright or frame D being a little higher than the churn A, and the upright or frame C being considerably higher than the upright D, as shown iu iig. 1.

E is a cross-bar, one end of which enters a slot or groove in the upright C,- and the other end of which rests upon and is detachably secured to the upper end of the upright D.

F is the dasher, which is made with arms,'f, and

V wings, f2, so as to agitate the cream, both when moving 'up and down vertically, and when revolving.

G is the dasher-handle, which passes up-through a holein the cover, a', of the churn A, throughl a hole in the horizontal bar E, and through the tube H, attached to and supported by the said bar E.

The tube H has two spiral slots formed iu it, in its opposite sides, and extending nearly from its lower to. its upper end, through which slots project the ends of the pin I, which passes through the dasher-handle G, as shown in iig. -l, so that, as the dasher is raised and lowered, it may, at the same time, be rotated, first in one, and then in the other direction.

To enable the dasher to have this movement, its upper end is swivelled to the stirrup J, which is pivoted to the lever K, as shown in iig. 1.

One end of the lever K is pivoted to the upper end of the upright 0,. with a double-jointed connection, so that the lever K mayhave a longitudinal movement, to adjust itself to the Vertical movement of the dasherhandle G. Y

The forward end of the lever K extends out into such a position that it may be conveniently reached and operated.

I claim as, new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The tube H, having two spiral grooves formed lin it, and the pin I, in combination with the swivelled and pivoted dasher-handle G, lever K, uprights 0 and D, andv detachable horizontal bar E, substantiall y as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth. S. S. ALLEN.
